Sheet Goods & Cutoffs Trolley/Rack

Inspired by a model that I’ve seen in a magazine or on the web, I built myself this sheet goods and cutoffs trolley, or mobile rack. About 15 years ago I built a narrower sheet goods mobile rack (kind of tippy) and about two years ago a mobile cutoffs bin, but this new one combines both, meaning my basement workshop should be (read should) or at least look larger!

The base is 30’’X96’’, the casters are 6-1/4’’ in diameter (I can’t remember the weight rate). The central uprights are full sheets of plywood and the lower ‘’tunnel’’ is 26’’ high while the upper one is 18’’ high.

Frankly, now that lumber from both of my former racks have been moved on this new one, I know I should have gone with much more weight rated casters! On the other hand, it’ll get lighter after each future project.

very nice, i just finished up building the router table fence that you posted a while back and it was well worth the effort and its handy as a shirt pocket,i can sure use this too.it would really help me get a little more organized thanks for sharing i have been following it on your blog great instructions thanks again.i told a friend and gave him the blog that there was a Cajun up in Canada that was very sharp on this wood craft he reminded me that the Cajuns didn’t go from Louisiana to Canada but was the other way around.

I made one of those, also from a magazine. And though it has wheels, I don’t think I’ve moved it but once. It holds a lot of sheet goods and a lot of cut-offs. I found out the top shelf collects a lot of stuff over the years. I built mine about 5 years ago. I have to clean off the top to find clamps and tools every now and again.

Nice job!
